He doesnt eat on his own. Ive been force feeding him, i feel pretty bad about stressing him like that but i do it hoping he will have the energy to take the food on his own.

Find a product called Repta Boost. Use that to force feed him. You can also contact a vet about getting some Lefeber Carnivor care. Very good at helping their systems restart and get their appetite back.

Ive been heavily dusting his crawlers with reptaboost. I thought he would be fine by now but maybe hes just too stressed out. Tomorrow ill try to tong feed him and see his response. Thanks for the advice i appreciate any help i can get

[Abe]

Also im yet to find a vet that adequatly cares for reptiles/amphibians but as soon as i do ill make sure to do a full check up on him

Abe, as long as you cut the worm pieces (sharp scissors work OK) from the worm's pointy end (away from flatter head); the worm will survive and regrow the lost piece. That way you will not kill a worm with every feeding.

Here are some listings to help find a veterinary: Arav and Herp Vet Connection. Good luck !

Thanks alot carlos i did notice that Aftet i cut the worm it still survived for a while. I have a question, how did you guys spot the problems with my frog? I think the malnourishment was evident but what about the toxivity and the lack of growth. I just want to know in case i need the info later

That is easy just read your answers to the questions and it was OMG

first omg was when i read what you are using for soil, saw pics + cleaning his cage the way it used to be - toxicity
then i just went with the rest of the questions - no supplements, crickets only, the way frog looked, its size too, that it is difficult for him to swallow or catch prey. Things like that. Actually the fact he is still alive shows he really wants to live, thank you for helping him!
